Since the influx of so many low income areas into the CD School Dist, both high schools, the middle schools and elems are becoming and some have become so downgraded we have the next thing to the Harrisburg Sch Dist. This fact is sadly irreversible and getting worse all the time. This issue only magnifies it. We can't "dumb down" everything. We need to split into two completely separate Districts. At least then, one might function normally.

The Briarcrest Apts are now low income, Sec 8 apts. You're going to have a lot of this now along with all the other problems housing projects bring with them. Parents, lock up your young daughters. Watch out for the drugs too and everything else.

The phony Jones. Doesn't even live in the PN/Hbg area. Lives in Downingtown. He was asleep down there too far away. That's why he didn't break the story. Always has bashed Joe. People down around that area hate Penn State and Joe. Thank heavens the PN has seen fit not to let him do any of the post scandel regular coverage. Put the coverage in the hands of real professional writers. Looks like they are wising up too.

O'Brien is a phony. He says above that what he "misses" about college football is bringing a 17 yr old in and watching him grow in all phases and looking at what he has become as a player and a person 4 or 5 yrs later.. How can this be if you check his backround. He hasn't been at any college for 4 yrs or longer much less for 5 and as a head coach. Complete baloney. Just blown smoke up Joyner and the search committee. Looks like he sold them a bill of goods and they and Penn State fell for it hook, line and sinker like fools. He won't last 3 yrs. One way or another.

Just like most everything else Lower Daupin does, this program is way too subjective, displays gross favoritism by only recognizes the well connected and covers up the ones picking the winners. What makes the ones doing the selecting experts in this field? How many students are actually given a chance by being reviewed, etc, etc, etc. I've commented before; this school needs a fairness czar not pressured by a "who you know" mentality.

Can you imagine what is going to happen when Mary recieves cash payments in the Perry Co Treasurer's office when nobody's looking. WOW! "Katy bar the door". Open up your wallets taxpayers and get ready for a hosin'. I hope the co workers keep their eyes open and on her.

These mgmt state workers should accept the pay freeze and like it. If they'd go into the private sector most would never survive due to their pathetic "non work" habits and they are already the "least bright" (that's why they were working for the state to begin with; the private sector gets the brightest). Everyone in the business is aware of this. They'd be fired in nothing flat.

Erickson is too much of a do gooder. All he's doing is bringing more attention to the incident. What a blithering fool. Someone rein him in. Let's get a coach, AD and VP for police and finance and move forward. Not linger in the past.

I hear this new chairwomen will be nothing but trouble. Is stubborn and inflexible on her ideas which many, many citizens think are the wrong ones. Also is an authoritarian "I'm in charge" freak. Heaven help Cumberland Co taxpayers.
Also, it should be noted that Barclay's rape allegation was from a male victim. Not mentioning this may necessarily give the wrong impression (one way or the other).

Not so fast nacho. The neighbor boy told me he would have helped in the moving (and others) but it was for the so called "Honor students". I am going to tell him that his "lower class" friends should get involved in a volunteer project and not allow those erudite "honor" kids to participate. This brings some additional good deeds out of a very poor and non-thought out decision. Our adolescent students need things to bind them together and relate with each other, not divide them by class distinction. Thanks.

Unfortunately, with Mr Frazier being black and all of the principals in the case being white, the perception among some will be the chance for racial bias to creeep into this investigation. Perhaps this wasn't quite the best selection.
